Tel.

X Battery rack systems

Standard rack

Safts rack systems, together with Tel.X high energy density batteries, provide a robust, lighter and
reliable battery back-up solution for multiple types of telecom applications.
The modular and scalable solution systems
are available in two voltage ranges: 24 V
and 48 V systems. Available in standard
19 and 23 rack, the systems are custom
fit for the overall Tel.X battery range. The
systems are capable to host up to 5 each
48 V battery strings per rack. This
combination allows for accrued flexibility
of both foot print and back-up capacity
range most suitable for deployment in
demanding indoor environments.
With these systems, Saft is able to provide
a turnkey solution which significantly
reduces the floor loading compared to
VRLA.
Safts rack systems are delivered preassembled and pre-wired.
